Zaria is a wonderful city

Zaria
The second largest city in kaduna state
Zaria is a major city in Kaduna State in northern Nigeria, as well as being a Local Government Area. Formerly known as Zazzau, it was one of the original seven Hausa city-states. Today, it is known for housing Nigeria's largest university, Ahmadu Bello University, as well as being home to a number of prominent Nigerians.
Zaria's economy is primarily based on agriculture. Staples are guinea corn and millet. Cash crops include cotton, groundnuts and tobacco.[1] Not only is Zaria a market town for the surrounding area, it is the home of artisans from traditional crafts like leather work, dyeing and cap making, to tinkers, printshops and furniture makers.[5] Zaria is also the center of a textile industry that for over 200 years has made elaborately hand-embroidered robes that are worn by men throughout Nigeria and West Africa.
Because Zaria is north of the rail junction at Kaduna, it has equal rail access to the seaports at Lagos and Port Harcourt. However, only the railway between Lagos and Kano is functional, as the eastern line of Nigeria's rail network is not operational. This means that Zaria currently has rail access to Lagos and Kano to the north but not Port Harcourt.

From 1914 to 1927, Zaria was the break-of-gauge junction station for the Bauchi Light Railway to the tin mines at Jos.

Go back to the full trend and you will see that it was a sacastic reply to an iboman that was pretending to be a northerner while trying to destroyed it. Sacasm is a core part of nairaland it didn't start today
You simply went to my profile pick a conversation and twist it to fit your intentions. Bros I didn't start nairaland today woo, if I was hiding anything don't you think I would have deleted it.

tobechi74:
This classification expands to the larger society Right thinkers usually top in illiteracy, Polio infection and poverty. Their top values are :

Dress code for women. Blasphemy laws confiscating alcoholic drinks. Cattle Rearing. Underage marriage.

The left thinkers are concerned about making lives better. Their top values are:

Breaking up /restructuring. Improving the economy persistent ASUU strike. improving policing and security High cost of living.


A right thinker
Left thinkers are willing to push aside tradition and scriptures to advance a goal. Right thinkers would prefer to remain stagnant to deviating from scriptural and traditional belief. The right thinkers are looking at making under aged child legitimate voters. The bill may be passed into law eventually as right thinkers have more population among the legislature. The left thinkers would rather ban underage marriage. Unlike left thinkers, Religious belief play a major role in the decision-making of right thinkers . Right thinkers are unwilling to consider scientific study of the harm done on the girl child as a result of early pregnancy as long as her religion approves of such. They would rather stone the messenger and destroy his findings. Right thinkers shifts scripture when it does not align with reality.

The right thinkers contribute less to the regional revenue and are more in number. Their numerical advantage gives them an advantage during election. They tend to rule left thinkers. When right thinkers rule, left thinkers feel marginalized. When right thinkers rule, left thinkers feel marginalized. An external body might be needed to bridge the gap but the right thinkers rigidity makes it difficult. A doctor might be needed to divide the duo but the leftist would not want that either. We have a serious matter in our hands. We have to be careful, so It does not lead to uprising in the future.

Most times people only hear about the north without going there to see for them selves. Well here are alittle history about the north before almagation


The Fourteen Kingdoms unified the diverse lore and heritage of Northern Nigeria into a cohesive ethno-historical system. Seven of these Kingdoms developed from the Kabara legacy of the Hausa people. In the 9th century as vibrant trading centers competing with Kanem-Bornu and Mali slowly developed in the Central Sudan, a collection of Kingdoms merged dominating the great savannah plains of Hausaland, their primary exports were leather, gold, cloth, salt, kola nuts, animal hides, and henna.[1]

The Seven Hausa states included:

Daura, ? - 1806
Kano, 998 - 1807
Katsina, c. 1400 - 1805
Zazzau (Zaria), c. 1200 - 1808
Gobir, ? - 1808
Rano
Biram, c. 1100 - 1805
The growth and conquest of the Hausa Bakwai resulted in the founding of additional states with rulers tracing their lineage to a concubine of the Hausa founding father, Bayajidda. Thus they are called the Banza Bakwai, meaning Bastard Seven. The Banza Bakwai adopted many of the customs and institutions of the Hausa Bakwai but were considered unsanctioned or copy-cat kingdoms by non-Hausa people. These states include:

Zamfara
Kebbi
Yauri (also called Yawuri)
Gwari (also called Gwariland)
Kwararafa (a Jukun state)
Nupe (of the Nupe people)
Ilorin (a Yoruba city)
Hausa State
Main article: Hausa States
Between 500 CE and 700 CE Hausa people, who are thought to have slowly moved from Nubia and mixing in with the local Northern and Middle Belt population, established a number of strong states in what is now Northern Nigeria and Eastern Niger. With the decline of the Nok and Sokoto, who had previously controlled Central and Northern Nigeria between 800 BCE and 200 CE, the Hausa were able to emerge as the new power in the region. They are closely linked with the Kanuri people of Kanem-Bornu (Lake Chad), the Birom, Gwari, Nupe and Jukun. The Hausa aristocracy, under influence from the Mali Empire adopted Islam in the 11th century CE. By the 12th century CE the Hausa were becoming one of Africa's major powers. The architecture of the Hausa is perhaps one of the least known but most beautiful of the medieval age. Many of their early mosques and palaces are bright and colourful and often include intricate engraving or elaborate symbols designed into the facade. By 1500 CE the Hausa utilized a modified Arabic script known as Ajami to record their own language; the Hausa compiled several written histories, the most popular being the Kano Chronicle.

Fulani Empire and Bornu Empire:
Usuman dan Fodio ,The 18th century revolutionary and a social, religious and political reformer finally united the 7 Hausa States with newly created provinces into the Sokoto Caliphate. The Sokoto Caliphate was under the overall authority of the Commander of the Faithful. Under Dan Fodio, the Empire was bicephalous and divided into two territories each controlled by an appointed vizier. Each of the territories was further divided into autonomous Emirates under mainly hereditary local Emirs. The Bornu Empire was initially absorbed into the Sokoto Caliphate of Usman dan Fodio, but broke away a few years later.

COLONIZATION:
Initially, the British involvement in Northern Nigeria was predominantly trade-related, and revolved around the expansion of the Royal Niger Company, whose interior territories spread north from about where the Niger River and Benue River joined at Lokoja the Mount Patti hill. The Royal Niger Company's territory did not represent a direct threat to much the Sokoto Caliphate or the numerous states of Northern Nigeria. This changed, when Frederick Lugard and Taubman Goldie laid down an ambitious plan to pacify the Niger interior and unite it with the rest of the British Empire.

ECONOMY:
Groundnut and cotton industries in the province of Kano provided the main source of revenue for Northern Nigeria. Tin mining in the Province of Plateau, Steel mining in the Province of Benue, and other metal industries in the Province of Sokoto, built up the diverse mining industry of the region.

Cement industries in Sokoto and Bauchi and leather processing industries in Kano constituted the main manufacturing sector.

Who told u they are Fulani

Elrufai is the best thing that ever happened to kaduna

With d way dis ones are misbehaving
How will the 21st century value women now

Well , the. Truth is that breast and ass should not be the only criteria 4 marriage. U see after a few years that breast will sag and the ass will sour, so if u are after facial beauty ur marriage won't last a few years. And with many young ladies outside, That's when the men will start lusting after random hoes. Bt when u marry not only bcus of ass and breast alone, ur reason 4 marrying her still survives and endure slot of trials. NO WONDER MARRIAGES DONT LAST RECENTLY

Elrufai remains the best thing that ever happened to kaduna
I used to hate elrufai due to the nonsense I read on meadia bt the day I left lagos to kaduna was the day u realised that some people are only bitter and jelouse of what elrufai is doing in kaduna. Let me help u alittle,
Elrufai legacy:
-Massive infrastructural development around the state including ongoing work at kachia,kafanchan and zankwa
-IGR growth from 13.6 billion to 44.9 billion and still counting ( yes he borrowed bt still improved the igr
-Massive improvement in the education sector by removing all the unqualified teachers and replacing them with the better ones
-industrial revolution with the comming of better investment from major companies like tomato jos and other milk processing plants
-Increase in commercial prowess due to better infrastructural development
-better reacrational centers like renovation of murtala square, centinary park, gallaxy mall, etc
U just can't hate elrufai
ONLY PEOPLE FROM THE POTOPOTO REGION HATE THE ARCHITECT OF MODERN KADUNA

Hedonisco:
You have no business "investigating" people who are self employed, since you don't know their business and have no right to know their business.

Let the investigation start with the uncountable 'employee' thieves in Nigeria. You are a salary earner (and we know your salary range) but your lifestyle, properties etc costs a million times more than what you legitimately earn. How? They are everywhere, from government workers to private sector workers. These are the ones who deserve to be investigated first. Unfortunately, I don't know who would do the investigation... EFCC or Police? Those whose are the worst because they are ALL corrupt thieves who live beyond their legitimate earnings, so what's the point really?

Nigeria is damaged beyond repair but you hypocrital 'legit thieves' should shut up if you can't come to equity with clean hands. Nonsense.

you are part of the problem of this country , your types are the reason why south Africans , ghanians, even Pakistanis are making a mockery of Nigerians. you attack anyone that question the legality of hustle and celebrate wealth without even caring to know their source, or is it because you are not a victim of hushpuppi and co, that's why you talk like these.
people like you who celebrate criminals are the reason why hush puppy keeps on showing all his wealth in internet because he knows that there are people who will celebrate him whether he is a criminal or not. now let's talk about the criminals you are talking about in Nigeria it is on record that when efcc arrested the former governor of Abia State for embezzlement, some igbos especially iPob were crying that he was arrested because of tribalism and marginalization and continue to produce all kinds of propaganda until he was released now.the same thing happened when the billionaire kidnapper was arrested I saw her a lot of igbos were crying marginalisation and tribalism saying he was arrested because he was Igbo and that he should be released. these are the kind of behaviours that influence criminals like this idiot called hush puppy to keep disgracing Nigerians in the international scene. I am not surprised that you are one of them though, so next time before you call someone a hypocrite check yourself properly if you are one.

I have been saying it that ppl spending lavishly without any source of living need to investigated bt Nigerians where shouting hater hater, we celebrate ppl without knowing if their hustle is legit or not ,
other thieves are dino malaye ,saraki, yahya Bello , foolish fani kayode , makarfi, abdulaziz(former governor of zamfara) and all the past leaders of abia
